I wake up and turn to my side in search of my lover and find a cold empty space. I immediately feel panicked and hope I did not imagine yesterday. "Of course not," I chant to myself, yet I still rush downstairs in search of a missing Kookie. I slept later than usual. I was exhausted because I had not slept the night prior. Our separation, although brief put me through the worst nights of my life. Every minute not knowing if he was still mine was torturous. He is everything to me.

I quickly move downstairs and exhale when I see him. He is sitting by the window looking out at the view of the garden and wooded area. He is sipping on a cup of coffee and Zeus' head is in his lap as Kookie softly strokes him. While I am relieved to know that he and Zeus are getting alone splendidly, I wonder what he is thinking. He appears content. It is a quiet space, and I can't help but think that I'm intruding. I just watch as he appears so beautiful and serene. It all ends when Zeus sees me and grunts lifting his head off Kookie's lap and trots over to me.

"Good morning, buddy,' I say greeting Zeus as I lean down and scratch behind his ear.

Kookie quickly looks up and smiles so warmly that I can feel warmth radiate in my chest.

"Good morning, Tae!" He says with excitement as he rises and moves towards me as his eyes sparkle.

"Hi baby, I was missing you when I opened my eyes, so I came searching for you." He softly giggles sending tingles up my spine.

"Sorry baby. I was just thinking about how happy I am and the day ahead. I didn't want to disturb you, so I came down here and found someone was up," he says looking down at Zeus as he smiles and giggles.

"Tae it's Christmas Eve! Isn't that great!" Kookie says as he rapidly claps his hands.

I reach for him and pull him close, holding on to him longer as I feel grateful to have him in my life.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he whispers, as I slowly release him.

"When I woke you weren't there and, I-I felt scared that yesterday was just a dream. I felt panic until I saw you sitting by the window. I love you so much and I don't want to ever be without you again," I say diverting my eyes away from him just for a few seconds as I feel my vulnerability.

He steps close to me and takes my hand as I look into his beautiful eyes.

"Tae, I love you too and I never want to separate from you again. That was the worst 24 hours of my life. However, I don't know how we will work this out," he exclaims as I hear the concern in his voice.

"We will figure it all out after the holiday, and we will make it work," I tell him as he gives me a trusting nod.

"Tae, I was so angry with myself for lying to you and my audience. I have to fix this somehow and I will--" he says as I interrupt him before he can finish.

"Kookie it's okay. I get it now. I was holding you as perfect and that was terribly unfair. I will support you but please don't do anything that would jeopardize what you and Namjoon have built. There are so many people you inspire, like me. Now it's time to focus of each other and our Christmas." He nods and smiles while gently squeezing my hand.

"Kookie I'm so happy," I say placing my hands under his arms and quickly lifting him a foot off the floor as he gasps and then giggles, heating up my core.

"We will figure it all out sweetheart. Please don't worry," I tell him as I lower him to his feet again.

"Yes, we will Tae," he says placing a soft kiss on my cheek.

"Tae a snowstorm is expected in the mountain area where the cottage located. Namjoon texted me last night and I just saw it. We'll be okay because we're arriving this evening. The Snowstorm is expected about 3:00 p.m. on Christmas day. Suga, Jimin and Jin need to get there before noon tomorrow. We will all need to stay a few days."

"Sure baby. How about I contact Suga, and you reach out to Jimin and Jin," I say as Kookie nods in agreement.

"Yes, love, Namjoon will do what he can to get the camera crew to the cottage earlier to film a part of our day and then leave. Apparently, they delivered all the food, and everything we'll need, a few days ago. He said that Jin had been there with our design team, and everything was perfect. Tae I could hear sadness in his voice. I know him and he's in pain. I wish there was something I could do."

"I know Kookie. You told me about how he helped you. Well, helped us. I had him all wrong. He loves you and is very good friend. You both got clouded by the big picture of success. That was working for a while until," I pause and then say, "until you and I found each other baby."

"Yes, Tae until I found my normal guy," Kookie says as he gives me a soft smile, yet I see sadness in his eyes.

Tae calls Suga and I call Jimin and Jin. It will all work out and I am relieved. Jimin and Suga will pick-up Jin about sunrise and arrive in the morning.

Tae and I cook a simple breakfast together and I just can't stop smiling. The thought that I will get to be with my beautiful man in the kitchen on many mornings makes my heart soar. I don't tell Tae that I'd love nothing more than to be in our own bed, home, and kitchen every morning together, because I don't want to appear too needy. We both agreed that we moved quite fast and need to take more time to get to know each other. I know who he is, and I don't need more time to know he is my mate for life.

We go through Tae's family ornaments, and they are beautiful and nostalgic. I can tell that Tae is very sentimental as he has a sweet family story connected to most of them. He choked up a few times when he was sharing several tender moments. This Christmas wish is perfect for Tae. It will give him an opportunity to reconnect with what I believe are some of the happiest times of his life. I am incredibly happy to be part of his life and sharing these special moments with him. My love.

Saying goodbye to Zeus was difficult and I just met him. He and Tae together are the cutest thing ever. After Christmas we will return to spend a longer period here with both Zeus and Tannie while Tae and I figure out the logistics of our living space. I know that whatever it is, it will include both Tannie and Zeus. It must and I very much want it to.

After several hours, we arrive at the cottage that is more beautiful than I could have imagined. It is set to the backdrop of gorgeous snow capped mountains. Currently it is sunny, and the sky is clear. Everything is covered with snow. As Tae opens my door and I exit the vehicle the air is chilly and brisk and smells wonderfully fresh.

I immediately place my hand on my chest and softly gasp taking in the breath-taking view. Tae sees it in my eyes.

"Yes, I agree," Tae says with a soft smile as he takes my hand and slowly leads me up the stairs to the front door.

We find the key under the mat and slowly enter as I am again swept away by the cottage's beauty.

"Wow," is all I can say as my eyes takes in the expansive view. It is a huge open floor plan. We walk into the family, dining and kitchen areas which are all included in one enormous room. Not only are we amazed with the space but the entire room which is festively decorated for Christmas. There are angels, reindeers, lights, ornaments, and a large wreath hanging over a massive fireplace that climbs up to the cathedral ceiling. Almost every space is decorated except for one, a 12-foot Christmas tree that stands near the large stone fireplace. It is in front of a huge floor to ceiling window that looks out into a beautiful winter wonderland of open space and evergreen trees.

"Wow," Tae says as his eyes open wide, and he takes in the amazing space.

"Babe, it looks like Christmas exploded in here," he says with excitement in his voice as his smile expands. I can feel his happiness and it is contagious as my own smile broadens.

"Hahaha!" Tae laughs as I turn and see him standing by the fireplace. There are several Christmas stocking hangings on the mantel and two are embroidered with two names. Kookie and Taehyung. I tear up knowing that this is all part of Jin's special touches. He is making this holiday special not only for Tae, but for me also. I am moved.

"Oh Tae," I gasp bringing my hand to my mouth, "look at the tree. I can't wait until tomorrow when we decorate it together," I say reaching out to touch its bristles.

"Yes, love. That is one of the items on the top of my Christmas wish list, decorating the tree," Tae shares as he hugs me from behind and plants a soft kiss on my neck.

"Yes baby, I know. We are going to have a great time and I will do everything in my power to give you your Christmas wish," I say as he whispers in my ear softly.

"Baby, I already have what I want for Christmas, and I have it in my arms." He turns me around and consumes my lips and all I can do is moan.

The kitchen is a cook's dream and has the biggest center Island that I have ever seen. Tae is still wearing his big boxy smile as we start to tour the rest of the cottage, while our minds are being blown. There are four amazing large luxury master bedrooms suites. However, the largest bedroom completely consumes the third floor and has the best view of the mountains that is simply magical. Tae and I are both rendered speechless as we open the double doors and enter.

"Okay Tae, drop those bags. We found our room," I say jokingly as Tae drops our bags and goes over to the fireplace and examines it.

"I think I know what we'll be doing later on the eve of our big day," he says and winks at me as I immediately feel my dick twitch. This man keeps me so hot and horny. I've never made love by a fire and can't wait as a smile moves across my face.

I slowly walk over to him and give him a peck on his lips as he pulls me to him, and hand palms my ass and I uncontrollably giggle.

"How about we have some fun before our guest arrive in the morning. We can be as loud as we want too here. How does that sound?" Tae whispers as he softly runs his hand down my back, and I moan as my cock begins to firm up. Oh God this man.

"Mmm, Tae I want you too but babe we have do some prep for our big meal so we can spend most of your big day having fun. If we don't, I'm up cooking at 5:00 am," I say with a pout because I'd like to do nothing more than get naked under a comfy blanket by the fire with my sexy man.

"Yes love," he says followed by the cutest pout. "But I want my man and I want to have fun with you now," he whines like a big baby as I chuckle.

"Tae, I do recall someone saying they wanted to help me cook Christmas dinner and secondly, it was not me that came up with such an ambitious menu. Although, a wonderfully delicious menu, I wasn't the one that wants a pork crown roast and a brown sugar baked ham with citrus glaze. And let's not forget the ultimate pumpkin pie and a triple chocolate mousse cake and sea salt poppy seed cloverleaf rolls and-"

"Okay, I get it. I did say I wanted to be in the kitchen with you and my menu is ambitious but that was before I was in love with you," he says as I cuddle up to him like a kitten wanting its mother's warmth.

.

"Aww, Tae you are so sweet. Baby, I'm excited and happy to be cooking Christmas dinner for my man. Your help is not required," I say giving him a sincere smile.

"Kookie, I want to be wherever you are and that means in the kitchen with you. Of course, I want to cook with you," he says as he nuzzles my neck.

"Tae the good news is that Jimin is making the two desserts. He couldn't be happier. You know he loves to bake, and he wants to contribute and show his gratitude for allowing him to share in your Christmas wish."

"That's awesome baby. I'm happy he will be spending Christmas with us. So, let's get that prep done first," Tae says with a pitiful and sad sigh.

"Baby, I uh do have something you might like," I say giving him a yearning look and a playful smile.

He pulls his head back slightly as his eyes fill with anticipation.

"What, a sample of the loving to come later?" Tae eagerly says as I grab my bag.

"Kind of baby. Give me a few minutes." I say, coyly as I quickly go into the bathroom.

I talk through the door as I get ready to unveil my surprise.

"Tae this is something that you said you would like me to do, and I think the time is right."

"Well hurry up, I can't wait with all this drama!" He yells with a bit of agitation in his voice.

"Okay baby, I'm ready," I say as the door opens and I walk towards him seductively.

"Oh God Kookie, you're wearing my favorite tight-ass pants! Fuck! I get you alone in those pants in the kitchen. Oh god this is fulfilling some of my fantasies you know," he says as his breathing gets heavier."

He walks over to me quickly and rubs my ass.

"Shit, I've wanted to do that for years. Now how the hell am I supposed to cook with a hard dick," Tae complains as his eyes fill with lust.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart. I'll just go take them off," I apologize holding back my laugh as I turn towards the bathroom.

"Hell no, you won't," Tae says as he grabs my hand and pulls me downstairs to the kitchen.

Tae and I have an amazing time in the kitchen. I think I spend more time running from his frisky hands than prepping the food. A few times he cornered me and grinded my ass against the refrigerator and the counter. We are done in about 2 hours and head up to our bedroom. Now for the fun. We are both ready for some adult play.
